Largemouth Bass
If you're headed to Rest Haven, Georgia with largemouth bass on your mind, you're likely targeting Lake Lanier. This sprawling reservoir, known for its clear waters and diverse structure, offers excellent bass fishing opportunities. Spring and fall are prime times, as the bass move shallow to spawn or feed aggressively before winter. Look for them around docks, submerged timber, and rocky points. During the summer months, focus on deeper structure and use techniques like Carolina rigging or fishing crankbaits along drop-offs. A local tip: Pay attention to the lake's water levels; fluctuating levels can significantly impact bass behavior and location. Several public boat ramps provide access, but be prepared for crowds, especially on weekends. Lanier's bass population is healthy, with a good mix of sizes, and it is known for producing some truly trophy-sized fish.
